I scored a 43% Yankee (barely a yank).

Taxes are not levied for the benefit of the taxed.

I scored 68% (Dixie). A definitive Southern score!

There's still some Mississippi left in me, even amongst all these Yankees down here.

"Turning away to false Theology is equal to turning away to false gods" — Francis Schaeffer (Death in the City)

That's pretty accurate. I'm originally from south/central Georgia (hint: I was born in Vidalia, the onion capital of the world!), and this was my result:

It has no provision for us wayward westerners whose families fled both the south and the north. But it scored me as 53% Dixie, probably from my Dad's mother's side.

84% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Is the response I got.

Christians are like snow covered dung; it is the purity of the covering which the Father sees. -Luther-
There is nothing more ugly than a Christian orthodoxy without understanding or without compassion.
-Francis Schaeffer-

55% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

BTW, some of the answer choices didn't include my region at all.

The answer to the last question for me was "ball bug." We even played an entertaining form of billiards with them. You had to move fast or the balls got up and crawled away.

54% dixie, but some of them I couldn't answer, I call a drive thru liquor store just that, a drive thru liquor store,

the road long side the highway, I don't use any of those terms, it's just the road long side the highway..

I scored 91% dixie. It then asked me if General Robert E Lee was my father.

66% Dixie. Native Texan living near the Mason-Dixon line. Must be having a negative affect on me.

Isa 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

100% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

The Regulative Principle: Samuel Miller gives a succinct statement of this principle when he writes that since the Scriptures are the “only infallible rule of faith and practice, no rite or ceremony ought to have a place in the public worship of God, which is not warranted in Scripture, either by direct precept or example, or by good and sufficient inference.”

Gosh, I scored 100 percent Dixie -- I was a little surprised because I know I've got some Pennsylvania in me from my parents (Hoagie? In the south that was a submarine). And working in the natural resources also has had its influence!

I scored "a definite yankee". Why am I not surprised? I've lived in the south most of my adult live, but I was born and raised outside Chicago. Once a Chicago gal, always a Chicago gal.

Beware of a religion without holdfasts. But if I get a grip upon a doctrine they call me a bigot. Let them do so. Bigotry is a hateful thing, and yet that which is now abused as bigotry is a great virtue, and greatly needed in these frivolous times. I have been inclined lately to start a new denomination, and call it "the Church of the Bigoted." Spurgeon

56% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Blame Uncle Sam for my score...took the girl outta the south and turned her into a Third Culture Kid.

92% (Dixie). Is General Lee your father?

Note: If you change your mind on an answer or are clicking different answers to see what it tells you it will mess up the score. The first time I did that and it said 44% Yankee even though I put the same answers both times.

And it's GOOD!

Man, I miss food from Louisiana. Even the crawfish down here are bland.

37% (Yankee). A definitive Yankee. But there's some mistake. There are few (except in Aroostook County) who are more Yankee!

30% "strong" Yankee! I was worried that living 19 years south of the Mason-Dixon line would have corrupted me. Thankfully you can take the man out of the north but not the north out of the man.

Vic, you're on the left coast. You're only part of the United States because of geography!

I scored 36% - a "definitive Yankee." No surprise...

Thanks for posting this! (I'd taken it on another message board -- just wanted to see if the questions and my answers were the same. Yep.)
